When is the best weather to visit Globe?
Normal highs sit between 65°F and 85°F in March, April, October and November. Of those, April has the fewest days with rain (2).
That is a measurement, not a recommendation: it counts the months whose normal afternoon high sits between 65°F and 85°F, where a light layer is enough by day.

When is the last frost in Globe?
In Globe, the last spring frost (32°F) comes after March 11 in half of years and after March 29 in one year in ten; the first autumn frost comes before November 21 in half of years and before November 6 in one year in ten.

- First autumn frost, half of years before
- November 211 year in 10 before November 6; 9 in 10 before December 6
NOAA puts the median frost-free season at 253 days, and the season without a hard freeze (28°F) at 285 days.
A hard freeze (28°F) comes after February 21 in half of springs and before December 3 in half of autumns.

How much heating and cooling does Globe need?
A normal year in Globe brings 2,712 heating degree days, 50% fewer than the median U.S. place (5,373), and 2,248 cooling degree days, 2.5 times the median (908). Five months need 300 or more heating degree days, a monthly mean of about 55°F or colder. For gardens and crops, NOAA counts 5,597 growing degree days a year above 50°F.

Which places near Globe share this climate record?
9 places have no NOAA station with 1991-2020 normals of their own, and this station is the nearest full record. A place's own climate can differ from these figures, by several degrees where it sits much higher or lower than the station, nearer the coast, or inside a large city's heat; for the larger places the next nearest records are named with their yearly mean, so the spread around them is visible, and places of 50,000 or more have their own page with NOAA's gridded normals.
